Shrek Sighting – Taste My Cold Steel

Tuesday, November 20th, 2012

Liberated from an AQ resupply truck this fine blade accompanied Shrek wherever he went throughout a tour in Iraq. He carried it, taped to the back of his plate carrier just itching to give an unfortunate foreign fighter a taste of cold steel.

Velocity Systems has added Ranger Green to the color options for their Operator Utility Belt. The OUB is already offered in Black, Coyote Brown, Desert Digital, and MultiCam. To choose the proper size measure your waist over your existing belt when worn.

Both Grey Group Training and OP Tactical carry the OUB but you may need to give it a little bit of time for the new color to trickle in.

Do All Guns Have to Be Black?

Monday, November 19th, 2012

As gun culture 2.0 becomes more prominent don’t you think it’s about time that we see some alternative firearms colors to Black and Flat Dark Earth?

After all, what’s the point of Cerakote, DuraCoat and others producing all of those color options if they aren’t going to be put to use? Take for example this brace of Ruger pistols coated in Cerakote’s H-243 Safety Orange with H-146 Graphite Black by Rogue Tactical Coatings. Sure, it looks like a Nerf gun to me but for a Beaver support somewhere, it’s attractive.

Cerakote has a full gallery of coated guns on their site at www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/gallery that ought to get the creative juices flowing.

And, as we begin to see more and more ladies enjoying shooting sports, I’d expect to see some innovative paint schemes showing up. Believe it or not, not every woman dreams of a pink gun. We’d love to see some of your firearms out there that have received unconventional paint jobs. Why be boring?
